    Checking up on this conversation. The intended use case has nothing to
    do with RNG - we merely need a notification for system level user space
    that a system clone operation happened so it can act on it.

    Please consider taking the patch as is or advise on how to proceed to
    address this non-RNG use case.


    Thanks,

    Alex
